PRIME SUSPECT

There's really nothing earth-shattering about this pilot.  However, Peter Berg's direction zips the episode along and Maria Bello shines in every scene.  Plotwise, the episode is blah but the acting is top-notch.  The great thing is, it doesn't feel like a procedural even though it is.  The crime itself barely registers as the pilot instead focuses on the strained relationship between the tight unit of detectives and Bello. 

How far can that go is the question that remains?  Pilot's good enough to make me want to find out.
